Following a quick submission loss at this past weekend’s UFC on FX 5 card, it appears Shane Roller will retire.

The lightweight fighter on Monday said on his Twitter account that he has decided to move on to new things after his loss to Jacob Volkmann in Minneapolis on Friday night.

“Looks like I’m hanging up the gloves for good,” Roller stated. “It was fun, but time to move on. Sux that it ended like that. Now startn (sic) the next chapter!!”

Roller (11-7 MMA, 2-4 UFC) was stopped by Volkmann (15-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) at 2:38 of the first round with a rear-naked choke. The fight was part of the preliminary card of UFC on FX 5, which took place at Target Center. The fight aired on FUEL TV.

The loss was Roller’s fourth in his past five fights. After a strong WEC career that saw him go 6-2 in that promotion with five submissions, Roller didn’t find the same success in the UFC following the two companies’ merger.

Roller won his UFC debut with a second-round “Knockout of the Night” win over Thiago Tavares in March 2011. But then he hit a three-fight skid with a knockout loss to Melvin Guillard, a submission setback against T.J. Grant and a unanimous decision loss to Michael Johnson this past January.

But in July, he rebounded with a unanimous decision win over John Alessio and looked to get himself back on track against Volkmann. But that didn’t happen.

Roller was a three-time All-America selection as a wrestler at Oklahoma State University, a school that has produced plenty of top-tier MMA talent. He started his MMA career with a loss in 2007, but then went on a five-fight run, including his first two bouts in the WEC.

After a loss to current UFC lightweight champ Benson Henderson at WEC 40, Roller went on a three-fight streak that got him into a No. 1 contenders’ bout with Anthony Pettis for Henderson’s WEC title. But Pettis stopped him with a triangle choke with just nine seconds left in the fight, then went on to beat Henderson at WEC 53, the promotion’s final event, to become its last 155-pound champion.

On that same card in December 2010, Roller stopped Jamie Varner with a “Submission of the Night” victory in the first round, but then went just 2-4 in the UFC, ultimately helping lead to his decision to announce his retirement.

There has been no official word yet from the UFC on Roller’s retirement decision.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
